Have you ever tried taking a selfie on the second fasting flowing river in the UK? It’s reed-iculously difficult to keep still. 🌝 #mymicrogap here in West Sussex with @visitengland has been rather grey but filled with all the outdoor activity, cosy pubs and cups of tea. Just like this adventure with @thekayakcoach. Cloud, rain or shine - there’s always adventure waiting!!! Grab a friend and get your butts outside! ☕️🛶 🦙⛰

The elephants’ behaviour changes accordingly. The elephants are attracted to the areas where the rains arrive first, where new nutritious green grasses grow. Suddenly, these gentle giants become more social, gathering in huge groups formed by many different breeding herds and bulls in search of females in oestrus. These groups can reach up to 200-300 individuals, all moving together, slowly and completely focused on grazing the new grass. They mainly move with the rain and the availability of large quantities of palatable grass species. Obviously, drinking spots become a big confluence in the stretches of rivers closest to where the feeding occurs. In this green and lush time of year, it seems like the elephants have taken over and are now the owners of Ruaha. #wonderlust#worldtour#abakombetours#travelnut#familytravel#grouptravel#tailormadetravel#solotraveler#likeforlikes#lifetimetraveller#lifesentence#lifesituation#luxurytravel

As a college freshman, I went to Hawaii with my swim team. My first time on a plane with two aisles, my first vacation crossing an ocean, I didn’t yet know I had the travel bug. Between two-a-days, we visited Kaumana Caves, a giant lava tube from 1881. The outing reminded me of my family vacations, made me feel more at home while traveling with a group I never quite fit in with (do I ever feel like I fit in, though? 😅) The lush surrounding wilderness pictured here reminds me of Malaysia’s tropical greenery I’m now familiar with. I’m not sure I realized I was in a rainforest, and I certainly didn’t know I’d be spending many a vacation in another tropical climate. More Hawaii and Malaysia pictures to come. . . . . #chessreflects#hawaii 🌺 #rainforest#tropicalisland#naturelover#tropicalrainforest#hilo#kaumanacaves#kaumana#naturetravel#grouptravel#optoutside#tlpicks

This week consider some out of the box destinations for your next incentive travel trip. Here’s a few. Incredible Iceland. Iceland is one of few places on earth that has both volcanoes and glaciers, as well as incredible, world-renowned geothermal pools that look like hot springs from another planet. It now also offers affordable, relatively short nonstop flights from a number of major East Coast cities and can be particularly cost-effective if you avoid traveling during the high season. Fantastic Colombia. The days of Pablo Escobar and drug cartels have long since passed in beautiful Colombia. Today, the country is one of the most up-and-coming incentive travel destinations in the Americas, with gorgeous cities like Medellín, Bogotá, and Cartagena to explore, not to mention some of the most biologically diverse national parks in the world. Beautiful Eastern Europe. Far less crowded and a good deal cheaper, oft-overlooked Eastern European getaways like Austria, Croatia, or Slovenia have lots to offer. Take Vienna, Austria, for example. Home of the famed Hapsburg dynasty and considered by some to be one of the birthplaces of modern Western thought, Vienna’s cobblestoned streets are filled with imperial art museums, world-renowned classical music venues, impressive baroque-style architecture, and so much more. So, what are you waiting for? Book your next group trip to one of these far-off destinations! #iceland#colombia#easterneurope#grouptravel#outoftheboxtraveler

Come experience the Sistine Chapel with us on one of our exclusive, intimate tours scheduled outside of normal visiting hours! Did you know that Michelangelo was only 33 years old when he was summoned to Rome by Pope Julius II in 1508 to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel? Primarily a sculptor, Michelangelo was extremely uncomfortable taking the commission, as he did not consider himself a painter. Pushed far beyond his comfort zone, in four short (probably not for Michelangelo) years, he created one of the world's most cherished masterpieces. We look at this stunning work as a reminder that when we step out of our comfort zone, we can achieve amazing things! Visit www.curatedtouring.com and book your next adventure! ✈️
